What is the most Popular race?

XxTemppyxX

So lets see what the most popular race is. Is there a reason why said race is the one for you?
What about a least favorite?

My pick would be wood elf. I just like the race and normally like picking the elf in mmos..plus the crafting style is pretty cool to me. A least favorite would maybe be khajiits...mainly because most of them seem to betray you in game.. xD

Imperial

Stamina Builds:
Imperial
Redguard
Bosmer

Magicka Builds:
Altmer
Breton
Dunmer


Anything else is sub-optimal, really.

Khajiit

This is a hard thing to answer, it's mostly based on your alliance side, and even then I see even numbers of each race, one day I see tons and tons of Khajiit and the next all I see are Altmer, the only real way to tell is to ask for a favorite race without passives being a factor in the answer.

Dunmer

My personal favorite: Dunmer

Most populous race I see: Dunmer

*Disclaimer*
I also only have characters in the Ebonheart Pact. So there are always invasion-force levels of Dunmer around me. lol

Khajiit

Favorite race for me has to be Khajiit, they are always so chill compared to every other race.

My least favorite has to be Argonian, tree worshiping lizards aren't really my thing.

Imperial

Imperials can do anything. I have mine as an all magic build which is "sub optimal" but the 10% stamina buff gives me just enough stamina where I never have to worry about it.

Bosmer

imperial would indeed be my second. I started eso using an imperial templar..she is on vacation while I work on my wood elf though lol

Molag_Crow

Khajiit

I didn't really have a good think before choosing mine, but it isn't my favorite race, it's what I see a lot, I guess.. though, come to think of it, I see A LOT of Dark Elves.

My favorite is High Elf. Female Orcs are awesome too.

orcs and redguards seem to be rare to see!....actually even wood elves are rare..atleast in my travels..I am in EP though..i plan to make a character for all factions..so maybe there will be more of each.

Nord

Wow I didnt think my nord would be used more then RG lol

XxTemppyxX

Bosmer

so far it seems to be dunmer and imperial

Lightninvash

Altmer

the altmer because we are obviously better and the master race...

twistedmonk

They should never have put racial skills in the game if they wanted to see diversity/game balance.

Most people nowadays are naturally going to min/max. Tons of websites, youtube videos, etc giving people suggestions on best race/class combinations.

It's a shame. They should have just made racial skills more non-combat social skills and then we would pick a race based on how it looked or roleplay or whatever.

I understand that racial skills was part of Elder Scrolls series, but many of the things in the single player does not translate to multi-player game.

Thalmor-Nordmaster

Slaughter Fish !! FOR THE WIN!!

Moonscythe

Altmer

I have one more Altmer than I do Bosmer. The Bretons lead the Dunmer by one as well. I don't play to the Redguard strengths, don't have access to Imperial and prefer my character to be pretty and elfen.

Slaughter Fish, huh? No, it's just too hard to get anything done on land but maybe, if I could swim in close to shore and nibble on some toes...

Alot of the bonuses should be a set figure and not a % imo. Could give players a good boost early on but little benefit at end game.

Imperial.

Would it be possible to add Imperials as a faction at some point?

Khajiit

My personal favorite has always been the Khajiit and it's always the first character I make in an Elder Scrolls game.

I love cats, both big and small, so that's a very large reason. I kinda like the way they're always talking in the third person - it's rather different, and their accents are pretty cool, too. They also tend to excel in traits I gravitate towards in RPGs, like being sneaky rogues. And any time a game gives me the option to make a character that isn't human, I go for it. I'm already human 24/7. That's boring to me. In my video games, I wanna be something different. The same reason why my second character is always an Argonian (that, and I just like reptiles in general as well).

Anything human is generally my last choice unless forced on me. And if only humanoid is a choice, then I'm rolling an elf or dwarf. Just the way I am.

Dunmer

Dunmer... because of Morrowind and, well, Dunmer.

Kavatchian

Nord

Favorite wise? I like Orc, and Khajiit.

Sadly without paying more money for the Adventures Pack I can't play those characters in Ebonheart.

MerlinGambino

Altmer

Seems like I see mostly Dunmer or Bosmer.


Altmer Master Race though.

MightyMalloy

Altmer

High Elves everywhere... From the Shield Stacker Sorc's to the Legolas wannabe snipers!

NateAssassin

Khajiit

I bet if the Imperial passives were terrible, they would get less votes.

Argonian

"What is the most popular race?" is a VERY different question to "What is your favourite race?"
One is observational, the other introspective. You're basically asking everyone to guess, so the only results you're going to get is what the poll-takers GUESS are most popular.

Milktray

Imperial

My fav would be Imperial, has nice passives

My main is Aldmeri but only due to Sorceror

GreenSoup2HoT

Imperial

I would be a StormCloak if Nord's passive's were better. I'm an Imperial who's Nord at heart.
